Drives in two runs in win Neuse went 3-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Orioles.
Impact Neuse knocked in his seventh and eighth RBI of the season with two singles, and one of them was his first two-out RBI of the campaign. With multiple position players in the COVID-19 protocol and Kevin Smith (ankle) on the 10-day injured list, Neuse's role at third base seems secure for the short term.

Locked into full-time role Neuse will start at third base and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact Neuse is picking up his 10th consecutive start Wednesday, and he should be fairly secure in an everyday role in the short term with three position players (Stephen Piscotty, Chad Pinder and Jed Lowrie) on the COVID-19 injured list and outfielder Ramon Laureano still serving his suspension. In the longer term, Neuse's playing-time outlook also appears strong after his main competition for reps at third base, Kevin Smith (ankle), was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Neuse had already soundly outperformed Smith with a .782 OPS in 34 plate appearances to the latter's .438 mark in 33 plate appearances.

Multi-hit effort in win Neuse went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a walk and a run in a win over the Orioles on Monday.
Impact Neuse singled home Christian Bethancourt in the sixth inning to extend the Athletics' lead to 3-1 at the time. The 27-year-old snapped a brief 1-for-8 funk with his second multi-hit effort of the campaign, and he's sporting an impressive .308/.400/.423 slash line across his first 30 plate appearances while already having logged time at each infield spot except shortstop.

Blasts first big-league grand slam Neuse went 3-for-5 with a grand slam and an additional run scored in Monday's 13-2 rout of Tampa Bay.
Impact Neuse was already having a standout game when he stepped to the plate with two outs and the bases loaded in the ninth inning, as he had notched his first two hits and first run of the campaign earlier in the contest. The utilityman then sweetened his stat line significantly with his first career grand slam off outfielder-turned-temporary-reliever Brett Phillips. The blast gave Neuse his first four RBI of the campaign -- a total equal to the amount he recorded in 66 plate appearances with the Dodgers last season.

Another banner day Sunday Neuse went 2-for-2 with a grand slam in a Cactus League win over the Padres on Sunday, raising his spring average to .379 across 31 at-bats.
Impact Neuse's fourth home run of spring came in the eighth inning to put the finishing touches on Oakland's victory, and in the process, likely his bid for an Opening Day roster spot as well. Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports manager Mark Kotsay is clearly taken with the 27-year-old's all-around performance in camp. "There's some confidence at the plate right now," Kotsay said. "You can see it in his pitch selection. His at-bats. Defensively, he's made all the plays. He is more athletic than I think he was when he was here before."

Knocks second spring homer Neuse went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a Cactus League loss to the Angels on Monday.
Impact Neuse slotted in at third base and slugged his second round tripper of spring off reliever Aaron Loup in the eighth inning. The 27-year-old has now hit safely in three of his last four games with multiple plate appearances, and he appears to be making a solid case to stick on the Opening Day roster with the possibility of seeing work at both corner infield spots.

Impact Neuse appeared in 33 games in Los Angeles, and although his .169/.182/.323 slash line left plenty to be desired, he did display some welcome defensive versatility by logging time at second base, third base, left field and right field. The 27-year-old, who also has five games of minor-league experience at first base, will have no shortage of opportunity to earn playing time both there and at third base, which are wide open with the trade departures of Matt Olson and Matt Chapman, respectively. Neuse also has offered some encouraging early signs with his bat, as he hit well to all fields during Thursday's batting practice session and launched one ball over the left-field scoreboard and completely out of Hohokam Stadium.

Claimed by Athletics Neuse was claimed off waivers by the Athletics on Wednesday.
Impact Neuse was designated for assignment by the Dodgers in early December, prior to the league's lockout, but he'll find a new home in Oakland, where he made his major-league debut in 2019. The 27-year-old appeared in 33 games with the Dodgers last year and hit .169 with three homers, six runs and four RBI.

DFA'd by Dodgers Neuse was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Wednesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Impact Neuse spent most of 2021 at Triple-A Oklahoma City, but he still appeared in 33 big-league games and posted a .169/.182/.323 slash line. The move creates space on the Dodgers' 40-man roster for Chris Taylor, who re-signed with the team Wednesday.

Back in action Neuse has gone 5-for-14 with two homers, two doubles, seven RBI and four runs for Triple-A Oklahoma City since returning from the injured list Sept. 7.
Impact Previous reports inferred that Neuse had been placed on the 60-day IL, but it turns out that he missed about two weeks while on the COVID-19-related injured list. The infielder struggled with a .182/.323/.505 slash line in 66 plate appearances for the Dodgers earlier this season, so he's unlikely to get another call to the big leagues unless injury creates a roster need.

Moved to 60-day IL Neuse (undisclosed) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Impact The organization didn't officially give a designation for Neuse's move to the IL, but Castillo suggests that he is likely one of two players currently inactive for Triple-A Oklahoma City for COVID-19 reasons. Neuse spent significant time on the Dodgers' big-league roster this season, slashing .169/.182/.323 with three home runs across 66 plate appearances. His transfer to the IL, along with that of Luke Raley (undisclosed), allowed Los Angeles to add Jake Jewell and Ryan Meisinger to the 40-man roster.
